I have been asked to participate in a live chat<\/a> hosted by The Register (November 5th, 2PM GMT\/9am Eastern)\u00a0to talk about Windows Server 2012\u2019s role as a cloud operating system. Expect lots of Hyper-V, storage, and networking chat.<\/div>\n
\n
Say \u201ccloud\u201d, and you think Amazon, Google, VMware \u2013 but Microsoft?<\/div>\n
Yet Windows Server 2012 brings changes in scalability, management and flexibility that are helping turn the tide on one member of that triumvirate \u2013 VMware. This is because customers are starting to switch to Hyper-V, the Windows hypervisor-based virtualisation system which comes bundled in with Windows Server 2012, rather than paying extra for VMware.<\/p>\n

Join All-About-Microsoft\u2019s Mary Jo-Foley; Reg regular and ITwriting author Tim Anderson; MVP and co-author of the Great Big Hyper-V Survey Aidan Finn, representing Microsoft; and fellow Reg readers in a Live Chat to talk about what’s in Windows Server 2012 and why exactly it’s starting to turn the tide on market-leader VMware.<\/p><\/div>\n

We\u2019ll be looking at why enterprises are likely to upgrade now rather than later and working out where Windows Server 2012 fits into a Redmond cloud story that also contains Windows Azure.<\/div>\n
Is this a “software data centre”, a “cloud OS” or server marketing BS?<\/div>\n
Speak your Brains on at 2pm GMT, 9am Eastern, 6am Pacific, on 5 November. Ahead of that, register in the Live Chat window below.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
It should be fun. Hopefully I\u2019ll see you there<\/a> \u2026<\/div>\n
